to be fair, a cougar could be a women in her late thirties or forties interested in men in their mid twenties, someone going after 'jailbait' would be looking at girls in the 14-17 age range. This is a significant difference

The age difference between Hugh and most of his ladies is 50+ years. That's a very significant age gap and would creep me out regardless of which gender was older or not.

The age difference between Madonna and her younger man was about 25 years. That's still pretty significant and iffy (for me personally), but you reverse those roles (A man in his 50s and a woman in her 20s) and it's really not that weird.

I just thought those two examples were not effective for what the article was trying to prove. Hugh Hefner's relationship with women is definitely not the norm for elderly men. What I'm saying is men and women marry younger all the time, but not quite with the drastic age difference that floats Hefner's boat.

If the article is trying to show a double standard, it would be better to show society vilifying a man dating a woman with roughly the same age gap as Madonna and her man. I'm not saying it hasn't been done, it just wasn't present in this article, making it a very ineffective.

And beyond all that, who cares? As long as they're two (or more) consenting, happy adults, everyone should stay out of their business.

I don't think that an old man who uses money as an allure to rope in young women might be a good example. I commend the article writer's spirit but the point could have been elucidated better.

women in their 20s look better than those in their 40s. Universally and objectively: compliment to be told they look young. Modeling/acting career are ageist. The modeling industry goes further and tells us that 14-17 year olds are not repulsive, but there are good arguments that having sex with them is probably taking advantage of them. When they reach 18 though, we shouldn't presume that every man over 25 is repulsive to every 18 year old, or even if they are, that an 18 year old isn't entitled to market her beauty/attractiveness with responsible agency. Even if hugh heffner's most attractive features are his wealth and star-making abilities, that can make him attractive enough for a girl to fuck.

For men, their bodies tend to fill out more as they near 40. Looking Man-ish can be reasonably attractive to some rather than looking boy-ish. For those who think shaming sexuality is wrong when it is queer or slutty, they shouldn't shame other adult interactions.

young women marry old men and wait for them to die (oh wait, that doesn't paint the older man in a bad light, so why would they say that?)

Well the thing is women are more vulnerable then men, so when some old dude marries a young girl he is usually taking advantages of her because she's confused, what kind of girl would want to marry an old man anyway?

But some guys think cougars are kinda hot and they usually aren't as stupid/confused as girls so that's why its okay for a cougar to marry them.
